               2.     SITE DETAILS
               2.1. Background
               There is no higher order approval requiring the proposed works. Council is currently assessing a
               Referral Agency Response application (RAP23/0039) for the subject site.
               2.2. Site Description
               The site is located at the head of the Mossman Court cul-de-sac.
               3.     ASSESSMENT
               The proposed development includes the construction of a dwelling house along Mossman Court,
               Noosa Heads. The subject site is encumbered by Council’s mapped Acid Sulfate Soils and Flood
               Hazard Overlays. The application has triggered by Earthworks not associated with a Material
               Change of Use that exceeds 100m3. Groundwater will be encountered as part of the proposed
               earthworks. An Acid Sulfate Soils Management Plan and Dewatering Plan prepared by suitably
               qualified persons have been provided.
               The works are required to construct a basement garage for the proposed dwelling. A hydraulic
               flood barrier is proposed to achieve flood immunity for the basement. An internal mechanical sump
               has been proposed to control and discharge any incidental rainwater and rainwater captured by
               the downward slope of the driveway. Council is not supportive of privately owned mechanical
               pumps, however in this instance is willing to accept the use of such mechanical pumps due to the
               risks associated with the failure of the pump being limited to the landowner.
               Engineering believes that the proposed development generally achieves compliance with the
               relevant provisions of The Noosa Plan 2020 and recommends the following conditions.
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •      State Planning Policy;
               •      South East Queensland Regional Plan;
               •      Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •      Noosa Plan 2020.
               3.2. Noosa Plan 2020
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Earthworks Code;
               •      Water Quality and Drainage Code;
               •      Flood Hazard Overlay Code; and
               •      Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Code.
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments.
               4.     CONSULTATION
               4.1. Referral Agencies
               Not Applicable
               4.2. Internal Council Referrals
               Not Applicable
               5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
